Tymman, Is doctor Deyarman in So Cal? I heard he is located in San Diego, where I wouldnt mind driving to. Can you give me his contact info? Ive been thinking of contacting Dr Keene in AZ who is highly regarded, but if I can find a reputable doc in SoCal, Id rather stay local. Thanks

Hi all, I have been taking propecia for only about 3weeks now, however, I saw an infomercial about this topical spray called Scalpmed. Normally, I wouldnt pay much attention to these infomercials, but this one is FDA approved and has this ingredient called Theroxidil which Ive never heard of. Before I call and order this, I was wondering if anyone knew about this product or has ever tried it?

Tymman, I apologize for my VERY late reply, I havent visited the site since I was on vacation for the last few weeks...I actually have a lot more Qs, I really need some help. I made a terrible choice when I got my ht. I got it done @Bosley Beverly Hills...I know now that w/them its all about the money and Ill never EVER go back again, I just didnt know any better then. Granted I overspent and messed up, I figured my ht's should still grow. Im now 5.5 mths out and very confused. Still tiny stubble(no growth), same way its been for last few mts. I still lose hair, but now Im shedding like crazy especially from the back and sides(not just the scar region)This started worsening about 3wks ago since I started using minox5%but has been happening for a while,I know minox wouldnt cause that since its topical and not applied to sides and back, but who knows, Could this be shock loss such a long time after, or related to propecia, or what the heck is going on? Ive held back on my 2nd ht until I can control the loss...I need some help, does anyone have advice?Drugs dont seem to work, but Ill stick w/minox 5% and Propecia. Im determined to have more hair, I dont care what it takes...but at the same time Im very depressed and discouraged. Need advise please.

Thanks, I have heard a lot of good things about this Dr. Keene. It seems like she's one of the best in the business according to a lot of testimonies. Does anybody know her clinic's web site, phone number, or email address? Id like to do my 2nd procedure no later than mid-August, depending on my finances. Also, Bonzo, if you dont mind me asking, how much was your procedure, or do you have any idea how much 1000 grafts would cost me? Thanks again

Im starting to get more and more concerned. Im about 4.5 mts post op from a 1200 grafts procedure. I have been waiting patiently, but looking at some of the pictures, after 4mts, most people are already growing their hair. I have not had any growth yet. Ive been touching and feeling my scalp all the time, and still nothing. About a week ago, I went back to the clinic to get more propecia, and at the restroom I bumped into my doctor. I was wearing a cap, of course, like I always do, so he didnt take a look at my head. But I mentioned that it hasnt grown yet. He told me it should sprout any moment now, and ill start seeing results very soon. They did tell me that the sleeping phase for the transplanted hairs was about 4mts. However, ive heard 3mts from other sources. Either way, Im now close to 5. Also, I want to get a 2nd procedure soon, maybe another 1000 grafts or so, just the hairline for density. After reviewing pictures and doing research, I realized that even if my transplanted hairs do grow,after its all set and done, for the results I want, im going to need more grafts. This time ill go somewhere else, because even though these people are extremely professional and courteous, I seriously spent way too much. I probably could have spent about half elsewhere. Before I undergo another procedure, I want to make sure that i got my money's worth for the first one, and make sure that the hairs do grow. I want the 2nd one to enhance the 1st, not to replace it. Am I just a late bloomer, or is this abnormal? They did promise to replace grafts if they didnt grow, but im hoping that they do start growing so that i can get my 2nd one done. Also, does anyone know of any good ht surgeons in the L.A,CA and surrounding areas? Ill travel to central CA or AZ if theyre worth it. Any useful info would be greatly appreciated.

I guess Im pretty much restating what everyone here is saying, but Im sure 10 out of 10 guys(including myself) would rather be overweight than bald. I guess how a woman can relate is by thinking of her "worst hair-day" EVER. Remember what your day was like?...Well, its like that for us...just 50x worse! Everyday is a bad hair day becuase everyday is a "little-or-no hair day." This hair loss problem is the worst thing that has ever happened to me, the reason is because you know that youre doomed for the rest of your life, its not a minor setback, or a temporary condition. Eating right and exercising wont make your hair grow back. Ive spent thousands on a ht recently and await results. I would probably spend all of my money to have a full head of hair again because its not just a cosmetic issue. Being only 23, its a psychological issue as well. I feel that my stress has increased due to this, Im always self conscious, and I dont have the energy that I used to have before. I feel that having a receding hairline and thinning hair makes others see me as dull, boring, and even unhealthy. If I had more hair, I think people would see the real me. The "Young, healty" me, full of life, even if I did the exact same things and acted the exact same way. I know a lot of younger guys like myself going through this probably feel the same way.

Hey everyone, thanks for all your info. I guess Im just a little anxious. Ill try to relax a little. I appreciate your responses. I feel better now and look forward to the upcoming months. Thanks again.

Im only 23 and got my ht in late Feb, been thinning since 19. I got 1200 grafts done. doc recommended 600-1000. Im also taking propecia. Im affraid that the ht results will not be as good as I expected, since I dont see any changes, I know its starting, or about to start,growing, but Im concerned because I can feel tiny soft stuble all over but not around my hairline, and I know hair was transplanted there too. I figured the hair should grow evenly, so I should at least be able to feel it there too, but I dont. Im affraid that the hair transplant didnt work in that area. But maybe Im a little anxious. Honestly I dont mind waiting a little longer, but whats driving me crazy is the fear that more dreadful months will go by and Ill still look the same(or worse), Will the hair growth start picking up and will the hair transplanted on my hairline start growing, or should I lower my expectations? Can anybody give me info? thanks.
